Chemistry – (B.Sc.)

The Chemistry Department provides graduate and undergraduate courses in basic and applied areas of Chemistry. The undergraduate program offers the B.S. degree and the graduate program leads to M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemistry. Current research areas are solid-state chemistry, organometallic chemistry, nuclear chemistry, molecular spectroscopy, theoretical chemistry, polymer and surface chemistry. Research in progress include studies of nuclear fission, radiochemical dating studies, sorption studies of radioactive wastes, synthesis and characterization of inorganic materials, liquid crystals, adsorption, catalysis and mechanism of heterogeneous reactions, quantum theory of chemical reactions, few-body problems in chemistry and physics, modification and characterization of material surfaces, theoretical design of conducting polymers, mechanism of diastereoselection in organic reactions, protein conformations, optical studies of molecular aggregates, cage compounds, polymer chemistry, structure-property -performance relationships, electrochemistry and fuel cells.

Laboratory facilities include teaching and modern research laboratories for nuclear, electro, solid-state and surface chemistry.
